World's Best Low Carb Keto Waffles
These low carb waffles that I’ve been making are just the best.

(I know that every food blogger says that, but you’ve got to take my word for it on this one.)

World's Best Low Carb Keto Waffles

These aren’t just the best low carb waffles, they are the best regular waffles too.

These waffles could go head to head with any waffle, any time, any place.  They could throw down in IHOP and come out the winner, no question.

World's Best Low Carb Keto Waffles

Waffles tend to be nutritional wastelands.

Lots of sugar and flour and not much else.  But check out the ingredients in my waffles: Eggs, Cream Cheese, Baking Powder, Oil and Almond Flour.  This is real food, people!  Real food with only 5g of net carbs and a hefty 19g of protein. And did I mention that it also makes the World’s Greatest Pancakes? Well, it does.  Best waffles and pancakes ever.

  1. Really amazing! I have a low-carb, gluten-free bakery and these are the best I’ve had. I added a 2 teaspoons of Sukrin Gold and a dash of vanilla bean paste then topped with Nature’s Hollow sugar free raspberry syrup and a dallop of swerve confectioners-sweetened whipped cream and everyone raved about the waffle “dessert.” I used 1/4 C almond flour (4T) and got a nice thick batter. It was more than my Belgian waffle maker would hold so the recipe made 1.5 waffles for me. Keep up the great work!

    • Thank you! I’m so glad you were able to use these waffles to make such a delicious sounding dessert. I think I need to go make that for myself now. So where do you find vanilla paste? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

      Reply

      • I use Madagascar vanilla bean paste. You can buy it on Amazon. I do think it has some sugar in it, but I use less than 1/4 tsp in this recipe so should have minimal affect on blood sugar. I’d think any vanilla flavoring would be almost as good and sugar-free.

  2. This really is the best keto waffle recipe I have tried. I won’t go back to the grainy flax ones again. I made these in my hotel room! I used a blender bottle (be patient – the cream cheese WILL incorporate with just a few small lumps!) and my mini waffle maker. Take that $11 hotel breakfast that wouldn’t be keto anyway! I had baking soda instead of powder, so I halved the amount, and it worked just fine. 🙂 Even my picky father in law didn’t find any reason to complain. LOL! Thank you for a great recipe!!

  4. Love love love! Thank you so much for recipe! I used an immersion blender to keep extra air out (post gastric bypass gal) and they still cooked up beautifully!!! Thank you for making waffles possible again! I’ve got a great pic, but exhausted and a bit technochallenged…will try and figure out…lol. Thanks again!

  5. I’ve been using 3 TBSP almond four per recipe (right in the middle) and they have been perfect. If you only used 2 TBSP almond flour, your waffle batter would be pretty runny. It would be great if you were using it to make say, an english muffin replacement in a skillet with the same recipe, but for waffles, 3TBSP of almond flour was perfect for me. Sorry it didn’t work out, this recipe is DELICIOUS! I recommend making 1 single batch first, trying with 3 TBSP of AF, and then see how that does and go from there!

    • I used 4 TBSP almond flour per batch and it was super runny. No idea how cutting it down to 3 would fix the problem. It was completely pourable. Like, thinner than cake batter. Should it have been thicker?

      Reply

      • Yes, if you are using 4 tablespoons of almond flour, then it should definitely be as thick as you would expect regular waffle batter to be. But this should be easy to fix. I’d make up a single batch using 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) almond flour, and then add more almond flour in one tablespoon increments until it reaches a consistency that is thick enough to use in a waffle iron without running everywhere.

  6. I’m so confused. All the ratings are awesome, but I had no success with this recipe AT ALL. I quadrupled the recipe to get 4 waffles. I used 8oz cream cheese, 4 tablespoons melted kerrygold, 16 tablespoons almond flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 8 eggs. They turned out terrible. The batter was so runny that it kept pouring out of my waffle iron all over my counter. The waffles turned out thin and not thick or bready at all. I’m so sad….guess I should’ve tried a single waffle first. What could’ve went wrong??

    • Oh no! Sorry you wasted so many ingredients on this recipe. If the batter was too liquid, then you didn’t use enough almond flour. If you quadrupled the recipe, then you would need to use 1 full cup of super fine almond flour. The only idea I have is that you lost count as you were measuring out 16 tablespoons of the almond flour. I trust you when you say that you used the correct amounts though, so I really don’t know how this happened.

    • Hi Courtney, if I understand right, you used baking soda instead of baking powder and this caused the problem. The batter IS runny anyway, so there is no need to overfill the plates, the waffles WILL definitely rise and become thick and very tasty…

  7. My husband and I have been eating keto and love trying new recipes. We have been looking for a simple ingredient, yummy recipe for waffles and this is it! He’s quite picky and he truly loved it! Next test is on the kids! Kudos to you from one happy momma and wife! Also, I doubled the batch and it made 8 normal size waffles (non-Belgian waffles) in our waffle maker. Thanks again! 😁

    • Yay! Thank you so much for letting me know that you like the waffles. Hope it passes the kid test too!

  8. This recipe was as equally simple as it was yummy. I was totally impressed with how cake like the taste was. My 3 yr old and I made them together and used her heart shaped waffle maker to make a total of about 8 waffles. She loved them, as did my husband and mom. Thanks so much for sharing this gem.

    • Thanks so much for letting me know how many waffles you got out of the batter. I only have a Belgian waffle maker. Thanks!

  9. Amazing!!! I had didn’t have high hopes for this recipe, but it was simple the straightforward ingredients and instructions that peaked my interest. WOW WOW WOW!! I followed to the letter using 4Tbsp of Almond flour and 1Tbsp butter, and the recipe gave me 4 waffles! Perfect for breakfast, but I have been using them for sandwiches!! Today was a big batch day, so now I have enough made for 8 servings of 2 waffles. I also tried using a garlic and herb spreadable cream cheese, and they turned out great!!!! This will be a weekly make, they are fantastic!! I love that they have simple ingredients because I live on a small tropical island and things like monk fruit, erythritol, and phylum husk… just do not exist here!! Thank you again for this!!

    • Yay! Waffles for the win. You might want to look at your local store for Sugar-Free Pancake Syrup. It’s not a specialty item where I live, so you might be able to find it next to the regular pancake syrups. Thanks so much for your nice note. You made my day.

      • Made this recipe today for my kiddos and they loved it! I kinda eye balled the ingredients so I know I used more than I should’ve but here’s what I did; 3/4 cup of almond flour, 2-3 oz cream cheese, 1 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 2 xtra large eggs beat with mixer and pour to un-greased mini waffle maker! Made 7 of them!!! Soooooo good and saving this recipe for Saturday mornings! Thank you

  10. perfect waffles, exceptionally easy to make – without the need of whisking egg whites!
    there is no need for me to try another/new recipe for gf/keto waffles…these are really nice, they took 6-7 min in my waffle maker and after removing them out they dried on the surface – got crunchy – and became even more crispy and really fluffy inside,
    thank you for the recipe

  11. I’ve tried many low carb waffle recipes since I started this diet. I think this one is by far the best. My new go-to recipe.

  12. Absolutely love the recipe as a go to. I add cinnamon or sugar free chocolate chips and/ or sweetener of choice depending on my mood.

    Reply

    • Oh my goodness, chocolate chip waffles sound amazing. Will definitely be giving these a try. Thanks!

  13. Do you know of anything nondairy that might be able to successfully replace the cream cheese? We aren’t able to consume dairy. Thanks!

    • You can substitute cream cheese in most recipes with Kite Hill almond based cream cheese spread. It works like a charm in most applications. They also make a plain yogurt that can be subbed for any yogurt or sour cream required in recipes. Kroger stores (many chains fall under the Kroger umbrella) carry it, as do all health food stores.

      Reply

      • Thanks for that tip. I keep hearing about low carb things you can buy at Kroger. There is one about 10 miles away from me but I’ve never been there. Are there any other low carb Kroger finds I should look for?

        • They often have their house brand of cream cheese on sale for 99 cents. I stock up when they have that. I also stock up on their CarbMaster Yogurt, which is sweetened with Sucralose, and usually marked at 50 cents each. It’s a little overly sweet, and low fat, so I solve both of those issues by adding 1T heavy cream to a serving. They carry some Torani SF syrups, if you need any. Boar’s Head meats from their deli are always gluten free, with minimal stuff added in, and good quality. My favorite deli meats! Aidells Chicken & Turkey Meatballs with Sundried Tomatoes, which I don’t find anywhere else. La Choy Soy Sauce (GF), hard to find around here. They have a big selection of flavored waters, both sparkling and still. Louanna Coconut Oil in a good size tub (not so big it won’t fit in my baking cupboard, as I find at Costco) – refined, so no coconut taste. NutPods Non Dairy Creamer, unsweetened — my fave is Vanilla. These should be on the shelf with boxed milks. My “dirty Keto” splurge is Protein Almonds from Optimum Nutrition, in the aisle with protein drinks. They have maltitol, but I only eat 3 at a time — so delicious! If you like those old timey potted meats, they are the only store I know that carris it in Corned Beef (everyone else has only ham and chicken). It’s great on low carb crackers. I find their produce only so-so, and don’t buy much of it there. They often have some sauces, dressings, condiments that I don’t find in other stores. It’s worth taking time to explore.

          • Thanks so much for all these tips! I really want to check out the low carb yogurt. I’ve been missing it lately.

  14. These are so good. They don’t taste like eggs at all! They’re fluffy and delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe.

  15. These are the best waffles. I’m new to Keto diet and was afraid it would be another cardboard recipe. ( still getting used to cooking with almond flour).
    I like these better than my non-Keto waffles.

  16. These were good, but mine came out dry when using coconut oil. Next time I’ll try butter.
    Also, it only filled my square waffle iron about 3/4, so I’ll make half again as much next time.
